The Lagos State Judicial Panel of Enquiry and Restitution for Victims of SARS related abuses and other matters has heard how a businessman, Basil Chetal Ejiagwa, was tortured in 2014 till he lost the use of his legs and suffered brain damage.
“He spent five days at the Igando Police Station and while he was there, they used a hammer to break his legs. “From the result of the hospital, they said the use of gun butt on his head made him lose his memory.”“At the time, he had injuries all over his head; the brain tumour did not start immediately,” he said.
He said the family has also been unable to receive the N40million damages awarded by the court from the police.“When the tumour became bad, he was taken out of Lagos to the East for treatment because when you look at him, you will see a different person.“He however died exactly a week ago on November 17,” he said.
